I was at a biker cafe (Ponderosa in North Wales) yesterday, and about to ride off. A rider pulled up next to me on a Triumph Tiger and as I glanced over, I noticed the chain was bright orange with rust. I mean literally the colour of a satsuma all over and scabby too, as if it had been in the sea for a few weeks. No way would I ride a bike with a chain in that state. I nearly said something to the rider, but restrained myself.

Are you sometimes surprised by the state of other peoples' bikes?
